Sexologist Alexa Andre (@sexwithalexa) is back with another deep dive into the world of dating, this time with award-winning sex educator and ghostwriter Connie Collins (@thefirstdatediaries). We explore the state of relationships today and reveal what keeps people stuck in situationships and unhappy. It’s often not about your dating profile or messaging speed, but deeper issues like fear of vulnerability and emotional shutdowns.

We cover:

- Understanding sexuality and how to discover what you truly want in relationships.

- Recognizing emotional availability and its impact on your dating experience.

- The loneliness of pretending you're okay with casual dating when you’re not

- The pressure to be chill, cool and detached and why that hurts us more than it helps

- The concept of “pussy economics” and why your access is valuable

- Real red flags we ignore and green flags we mistake for red flags.
